Opto-Mechanical Engineer

We are seeking a Opto-Mechanical Engineer to join a growing team in Oxford. This role will focus on the design, development, analysis, and optimisation of precision opto-mechanical systems for innovative products. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams including optical, electronics, software, and manufacturing engineers to deliver robust solutions that meet performance, cost, and reliability requirements.

• Design and develop precision opto-mechanical assemblies and components.
• Collaborate with optical engineers to ensure mechanical designs meet optical performance requirements.
• Perform mechanical analysis, tolerance analysis, and design validation activities.
• Create detailed 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, and technical documentation.
• Support prototype development, testing, and product validation.
• Work closely with manufacturing teams to ensure designs are suitable for production and assembly.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of products and engineering processes.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Opto-Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline.
• Experience in mechanical or opto-mechanical design.
• Solid understanding of mechanical engineering principles, materials, manufacturing processes, and design for manufacture.
• Practical knowledge of opto-mechanical design principles, including alignment, thermal management, vibration control, and optical packaging.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD software such as Solid Works or similar.
• Experience using engineering analysis and simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS).
• Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team in a fast-paced environment.
